An Appreciation of 

Zion National Monuraent 

By JACK LAIT 

Written Especially for the United States Railroad Administration 

ION CANYON is an epic, written by Mother Nature in her 
most ecstatic humor, illustrated by Creation in its most ma- 
jestic manifestations, published by God Almighty as an inspi- 
ration to all mankind. 
Far from the foot-worn ways of conventional journeying, its remote 
and intimate preserves unfold to the traveler whose eye seeks the extraor- 
dinary a masterpiece in magnitudes, incredible colorings, vastnesses of 
those mystic influences which mark the earth's contour, and a haven of 
distant peace beyond the understanding of him w^ho has never entered 
the mouth of Zion Canyon, w^here the hubbub of the affairs of men has 
not yet penetrated, where nature is so big that one may not think small 
thoughts, where one is embraced in the spirits of mystery and history 
and those fascinating elements untouched by the rude fingers of destroy- 
ing humans. 

I spent ten delicious days and nights between the unsealed walls of Zion; 
I explored it over fords and fallen giant trees dow^n to w^here, betw^een 
great, sheer altitudes of rock, no man has ever gone farther — the stream 
becomes too deep to wade, too rocky to canoe, too narrow to swim. On 
every side was crude but marvelous nature in bird and foliage and fish 
and rock and running water. I stood there and I gasped, though I had 
become almost familiar with the miracles of Zion. I gasped: I gasped a 
prayer, for one may not behold what one beholds there without know- 
ing that there is a God; that His ways are inexplicable to man and to 
be taken in faith alone. 

Zion Canyon is the most beautiful spot on this continent. I think I 
have seen all the famed show-places that the evolution of the earth's 
formation has made. And of them all Zion to me stands first, stands 
alone. In this opinion I may stand alone. But I saw Zion at its best, and 
it captured me. Rich with a phase of American history seldom touched 
upon in popular literature, pregnant like the page of knowledge with the 
spoils of time, it gives to one who stands within its magnificent dimen- 
sions a sounder affection and admiration for the courage of men and a 
more profound impression of the wonder-works of God.

To the American People: 

Uncle Sam asks you to be his guest. He has prepared for you the 
choice places of this continent — places of grandeur, beauty and of 
wonder. He has built roads through the deep-cut canyons and beside 
happy streams, which will carry you into these places in comfort, and 
has provided lodgings and food in the most distant and inaccessible 
places that you might enjoy yourself and realize as little as possible 
the rigors of the pioneer traveler's life. These are for you. They are 
the playgrounds of the people. To see them is to make more hearty 
your affection and admiration for America. 




Zion National Monument 




OWN at the very southern 
edge of Utah lies Zion Na- 
tional Monument, the new- 
est among the many scenic 
marvels of our Western 
land. Not new in point of time since 
its nnaking, but new in presentation as 
an attraction for the traveler and lover 
of the marvelous in nature. Guarded 
for centuries by unconquered barriers 
of burning desert and rugged mountain 
crests, this treasure house of splendors 
was an unknown land. 

A Land of Prehistoric Legend 

Legend tells us that, in unrecorded 
ages, a prehistoric people gathered 
within its rock bound amphitheatres 
to offer annual ceremonials in adora- 
tion of gods now long forgotten. With 
the passing of these ancient worship- 
pers the area that forms Zion Monu- 
ment relapsed into the silence of its 
beginning, a silence broken only by the 
howl of the mountain lion, the bark of 
the coyote or the challenge of the stag 
as he hurled defiance to his rival from 
some jutting point upon a canyon's 
rim. Even among the later arriving 
tribes of American Indians, Zion was 
held in reverence, none of these super- 



stitious people ever daring to spend the 
night within the portals of its many 
winding canyons. 

Discovered by Mormon Pioneers 

First of all among the Anglo-Saxons, 
came the Mormon pioneers to view this 
scenic spectacle enacted by the spirits 
of the gods, staged in a gigantic setting 
of towering battlements and thrones 
of glistening sandstone. Amazed 
at the w^onders of this nook in the 
heart of Utah's Rockies, these religious 
zealots stood in aw^e before the lofty 
pinnacles and crags of Zion colored 
by streams of brilliant crimson dashed 
against the faces of its mighty cliffs. 
First among moderns to enter the gates 
of this wonderland, these searchers into 
the unknown saw revealed the handi- 
work of the Architect of the Universe 
written on w^alls that tower heaven- 
ward amidst a riot of color, bold and 
glorious. 

Built by Grind of Centuries 

Long had Zion's pageant been in the 
making. It required the mantle of 
winter's snow^s, kisses of summer 
brightness and the grip of untold au- 
tumn frosts; building, tinting, smooth- 
ing, breaking, to bring about a perfec-

tion in this maze of splendor destined 
to charm countless mortals with its 
weird sublimity. 

Opening of the Way 

For years following the coming of 
the Mormons, this gem among Ameri- 
ca's wonders was but rarely visited. 
Now, placed among our nation's cher- 
ished and protected playgrounds, Zion 
has finally come into its ow^n. The 
way is open to you. Modern service 
furnished by roads of steel, allied with 
the distance-defying motor car and the 
building of good highways, has ren- 
dered all this possible. Zion's story 
cannot be told — it must be seen. Its 
portals thrown open that you may 
enter, bid you come. Towering 
thrones, sculptured by the winds and 
rains, gleam in coral and in gold and 
bid you a welcome to the shrine. 

A National Monument 

Zion National Monument was cre- 
ated and added to America's list of 
playgrounds on March 18, 1918. 

An area of 76,800 acres was includ- 
ed in the territory set aside to form 
this Monument and within its bound- 
aries are located formations of such 



unique colorings as to vie in attractive- 
ness with those of any other among 
our several National Parks. 

Zion Canyon is located in the south- 
ern part of Utah, its rugged and broken 
acres forming the clefts and crannies 
among the southern spurs of the 
Wasatch range of mountains. 

Zion's Wondrous Diversity 

First among Zion's w^onders is its 
absolute diversity. With every turn 
the visitor is confronted by a picture 
differing totally from those he has al- 
ready view^ed. Next come the w^on- 
drous colorings that have rightfully 
caused the naming of this gigantic 
gorge, "Yosemite done in oils. " 

Within the Monument there are 
several canyons, each one different in 
character and color, at the same time 
presenting features seen in no other 
section of America. 

There are cliff dwellings, telling the 
story of a home life among vanished 
races. 

There are spots where legend locates 
places of worship dedicated to the rites 
of heathen deities. 



Page six 



There are thousands of unblazed 
trails reaching out into the towering 
cHffs where the daring mountaineer 
may find hazard and the geologist new 
formations to puzzle. 

There are unsolved problems of 
earth's writhing and upheaval when 
time was young. 

Everywhere are vistas that defy the 
talent of the artist to rightfully portray, 
for the whole Monument is one great 
riot of brilliant color and the fantastic 
picturing of nature. 

An Artist's Paradise 

Such artists as Moran, Knight, Del- 
lenbaugh, Culmer and Fairbanks have 
penetrated its gorges and brought 
forth studies from which paintings have 
been developed that have astonished 
the critics. Yet w^hen others followed 
these artists into this practically un- 
known canyon they returned with re- 
ports that the weird and brilliant col- 
oring of these paintings told but half 
the story of Zion's grandeur. 

Other explorers, among them Mr. 
William H. Holmes, at that time head 
curator of the National Museum, and 



Major Powell, visited, described and 
made drawings of Zion's wonders, but 
so far was the canyon removed from 
the regular paths of travel, that it re- 
mained a "terra incognita" until, by 
means of the railroad and auto high- 
ways, its attractions were placed within 
reach of the traveler. Motor cars now 
roll into the very heart of Zion's beau- 
ties and deposit their passengers at the 
doors of a "Wylie" camp, the proto- 
type of those comfortable resorts which 
so long welcomed visitors in the Yel- 
lowstone. 

A Highway of Romance 

The opening of Zion has been ac- 
complished through the efficiency of 
Utah's good roads. 

In combination with road construc- 
tion carried on by the National gov- 
ernment, these state roads have pene- 
trated a section of country that will 
rapidly take its place with the Yosemite, 
the Yellowstone and Glacier Park as 
one of America's scenic marvels. 

The story of this highway is romantic 
in itself, for, away back in the days 
when our West was in swaddling 




Looking down into Zion from its eastern wall — from this point of vantage one of the most 
glorious vistas of the Canyon meets the eye.

clothes, Brigham Young first conceived 
the good road plans that were carried 
out so many decades later. President 
Young was among the earlier visitors 
to Zion's wonders and to him fell the 
christening of the great central cleft, 
around which are clustered the other 
gems of the Monument. This canyon 
so impressed him that he gave it the 
name of "Zion." 

First of all to be discovered in this 
great area of attractions was this Zion 
Canyon, which has, for years, caused 
wonder and amazement on the part of 
the few people who have braved the 
hazard of rough travel and meager 
accommodations in order to view^ the 
splendor of this practically unknow^n 
land. 

Where the Motor Conquers Distance 

By the automobile route now^ es- 
tablished, Zion is just an even hundred 
miles from the railroad station of Lund, 
Utah. 

The auto drive is made in less than 
seven hours, with a stop for luncheon 
at Cedar City, a most attractive little 
community nestled under the shadows 
of the southern spur of the Wasatch 
Mountains, which really marks the 
northern boundary of the area of which 
Zion is the leading feature. 

All along the way the traveler faces 
the range w^hich gradually rises in his 
path, its color slow^ly changing from 
the deep purple of distant effects to the 
solid greys of the country rock splashed 
with vivid tintings of red and yellow 
sandstone, the whole softened by the 
varied green of scattered cedars and 
w^idespread areas of chaparral and 
mesquite. 

It is a most pleasant introduction to 
a land of mountain wonders where 
every mile shows a vista differing en- 
tirely from the last. 

From Cedar City the route follows 
the historic state highway. 

Rim of an Historic Sea 

About twenty miles to the south 
the road tips over the rim of the great 



intermountain basin, over which the 
waters of prehistoric Lake Bonneville 
spread. 

The road is flanked with towering 
mountains that shut in fertile valleys, 
green with growing crops. 

Here the rim of the basin is known 
as the "Black Ridge" and the rock 
formation gives truth to this title where 
the road winds down through the rocky 
gorge leading into Utah's "Dixie." 

Seventy-five miles from the railroad 
brings the traveler to the valley of the 
Rio Virgin, which here breaks out of 
a grim canyon where it has cut its way 
through the walls of what science 
terms the most marvelous "fault" in all 
the world's geological record. 

There certainly was some tremen- 
dous break, for when the earth's sur- 
face was riven by a gigantic disturb- 
ance, that portion west of what is 
known as the Hurricane Fault, dropped 
a full two thousand feet, leaving the 
eastern area a great suspended mesa 
with an edge ragged as a ripsaw, and 
overlooking a stretch of country ex- 
tending far over into Nevac^a and Ari- 
zona. 

A Glimpse at Utah's "Dixie" 

In Rio Virgin Valley grow the fa- 
mous "Dixie" peaches, the fig, the pom- 
granate, almond and the walnut; in 
fact, everything that characterizes semi- 
tropic America save the citrus fruits. 

Blessed v^ith the richest of soil ac- 
companied by an abundance of water 
for irrigation, and just lately brought 
into close touch with markets by means 
of good roads and the perfection of 
auto trucks, this semi-tropic Utah is 
coming back into the prosperity that 
marked its earlier years when its cotton 
fields supplied the intermountain com- 
munities and its vineyards furnished 
grapes and w^ines. 

With a sharp turn to the east the 
highw^ay climbs over the rim of the 
great fault, following the south bank

of the waterway, where the state road 
leads through the Httle towns of Virgin 
City and Rockville. Here we reach 
the confluence of two creeks that form 
the head waters of the Rio Virgin. 

One of these creeks, called the Par- 
unuweap, flows from the east, w^hile its 
sister stream, known as the Mukuntu- 
weap, comes straight down from the 
north, like a crystal chain, and links 
rocky temples w^ith green bottom lands 
and frow^ning narrows. 

The Western Temple - 

Long before we reach the northward 
turning point, the great divide which 
marks the western boundary of Zion 
Canyon has loomed before us, and we 
are attracted by a massive pile that 
throws its summit four thousand feet 
above the valley's floor. As the lower- 
ing sun strikes this great mountain, its 
western side is illumined in a hundred 
tints and colors ranging from greyish 
white to the deep red of the great sand- 
stone crow^n that caps its summit. 

From its pictures we recognize the 
peak which the Mormon leader titled 
the "West Temple of the Virgin." 



A turn northward shows that this 
superbly colored mount marks the 
eastern side of Zion's portal and any 
question concerning the reason for its 
christening is dispelled by the grandeur 
of its wondrous formation and the mar- 
vel of its colorings. It is truly a natural 
temple. 

Nowhere in all the world can there be 
found a more striking facade than 
forms the east front of this weird moun- 
tain and, in conjunction with the array 
of peaks and dome-like summits, that 
flank it on the north. 

At Zion's Portal 

Across the canyon and forming its 
eastern portal, rises another mountain 
of like formation carrying a duplicate 
of the great sandstone cap. This is 
know^n as the "East Temple," and, 
though second to its western sister in 
magnificence, it stands as a fitting in- 
troduction to Zion's glories. 

One of Zion's strange formations is 
in the shape of a natural bridge, that 
stands, like a great bow with either end 
anchored to a rocky base, overlooking 
the chasm created by an erosion that

left this ribbon of rock hanging high in 
air. 

A backward glance against the west- 
ern sky shows a formation that outlines 
a human face cut cameo-like upon the 
canyon's wall. 

Legendary lore has construed this 
face to be that of a famous chief who, 
after passing on, w^as transformed into 
the guardian of the canyon's portal. 

Into Zion's Depths 

On into Zion's depths the highway 
leads, passing on the right the Three 
Brothers, and entering the Court of 
the Patriarchs, where another trio of 
gigantic pyramids tower in vari-colored 
grandeur. 

Winding beside the foaming stream 
the road climbs over a slight divide and 
passes out onto a broad meadow, from 
the eastern border of which rises a 
dome, rightly christened the Mountain 
of the Sun, since its great white sum- 
mit is first illumined by the morning 
rays and through a break in the western 
wall receives the final touch of depart- 
ing light. 

At the base of this glittering sun 
mountain, is located the canyon camp 
where are clustered inviting tent houses. 



grouped about a social center with 
amusement and dining halls. 

Among the Trails of Zion 

With another day comes a journey- 
ing by horseback or on foot, to a hun- 
dred places of vantage. 

There is a trip to where the lumber 
is brought from the canyon's rim on a 
cable that carries its load down nearly 
three thousand feet. 

On the way is passed a huge peak, 
cut to a flat table on its summit and 
towering over three thousand feet 
above the canyon floor. Its chalk-like 
strata, in sharp contrast to the reds 
and browns that surround it, brings 
this splendid mountain out in clear re- 
lief. Its name is El Gobernador. 

Across the canyon and in an elbow 
of the creek, rises a mountain, closely 
resembling El Gobernador in every- 
thing but color; this western pile, titled 
The Angel's Landing, is in deep reds 
and deeper browns. 

Farther to the north are fields for 
most interesting exploration covering 
the Zion narrows, where the canyon 
shrinks so that the little creek covers 
its floor from wall to wall. 




On Zion's Western Rim — showing the depth of one of the Monument's peculiar canyons, where the brilliant colorings of 
the lower altitudes have given way to rocks of chalky white.

The Eastern Temple — one of the two mountains which, on either side, flank the southern portal, 
and become at sunset one of Zion's most impressive features. 



Mystic Temple of Sinawava 

Up at the narrows' portal lies a great 
circular amphitheatre, with walls over 
two thousand feet in height. 

Though moderns have attempted to 
give to this rock bound circle a twen- 
tieth century name, it will stand forever 
as the Temple of Sinawava, or the 
place of worship for the greatest of 
Indian gods, whom legend declared 
was here venerated in days before his- 
tory first told a story of our continent. 

Trails lead from the floor to the rim 
of the canyon and the ardent explorer 
may find thousands of unblazed path- 
w^ays upon which to invest his energy. 
In fact, Zion is the heart of a great 
country filled with curious formations. 

One of the interesting side journeys 
is a climb to the canyon's eastern rim, 
made either on foot or by mule back. 

It is only by taking a climb upward 
to where the ragged sky line joins the 
blue, that the massive grandeur of this 
canyon can be realized. The trail is 
not particularly hard and the reward 
is well worth the effort. 

At the end of the trail, a point is 
reached where the canyon may be 
viewed in two distinct directions, for 
under the point, the great gorge swings 



almost at right angles with its southern 
stretch. 

Glories of Zion's Sunrise 

The best results of this journey to 
the eastern rim are secured by making 
the climb in the afternoon and remain- 
ing "on top " for the glories of the next 
sunrise. 

With the first coming of the dawn, 
the Mountain of the Sun springs out in 
dazzling whiteness. In vivid contrast, 
the great vermilion cap on the Western 
Temple emerges from the gloom and 
stands silhouetted against the sky, 
while, far below, the canyon's depths 
are still sunk in deepest shadow. 

The gradual transformation of the 
western wall from velvet darkness to 
great splashes of vivid colors is a change 
so weird, so impressive, that it lingers 
distinctly, when the other features of 
Zion are but a memory. 

To the west of Zion Canyon lies an- 
other great break among these old piles 
of picture-rocks. This w^estern canyon 
has never been officially named and 
its visitors have been few. 

Differing entirely from Zion Canyon 
in coloring and formation, the western 
gorge can be viewed only from the 
highest vantage points.

To Zion's Western Rim 

There are several passes through 
which trails will be eventually cut so 
that the western canyon may be 
reached directly from Zion's floor, 
but at present, a journey back to the 
westward and up the great plateau 
that separates Zion from the western 
canyon is necessary if the traveler 
would know its beauties. This is a 
trip of three or four days. 

It will take years to develop trails 
to all the unique corners of the Zion 
region. Not that they are inaccessible, 
but because they are a comparatively 
recent discovery. 

Not half a score of people have ever 
passed through the length of Zion, and 
there are branches of the several can- 
yons through whose network the foot 
of man has never trod. 

Zion's Prehistoric Dwelling 

A short and most interesting side 
trip, requiring but one day from the 
Wylie Camp, is to the cliff dwellings, 
located in the Parunuweap Canyon, 
seven miles above the confluence of 
the two creeks. High on the north 
wall of the canyon some of these w^ell 
defined dwellings are located, with 
their walls standing. The rocky arch- 
way forming the roof of the community 



dwelling, has strange sign paintings in 
a long lost language, still undecipher- 
able. 

In different locations within the 
monument's limits are several other 
specimens of these prehistoric dwellings, 
and as the traveler to Zion develops 
in curiosity these relics of an unrecorded 
people will be thoroughly examined 
and their long hidden secrets given to 
the world. 

Season 

It is probable that Zion National 
Monument will ultimately become an 
all-year attraction for the tourist, but 
for the present the season is May 1 5, 
to November 1 . At this season the 
weather is at its best with bright de- 
lightfully clear sunshiny days and 
nights cool enough to make blankets 
necessary. 

Transportation and Accommodations 

Zion National Monument may be reached 
via the railroad stations of Lund, Utah, or 
Mlarysvale, Utah. From Lundj Utah the 
National Park Transportation Company op- 
erates auto stages daily during the season 
to Wylie Camp in Zion Canyon, leaving 
Lund about 10:00 A. M. and arriving at the 
Camp at 5 :00 P. M. Returning auto stages 
leave Wylie Camp at 9:00 A. M. and arrive 
Lund 6:00 P. M. Stops are made at Cedar 
City, in each direction, for lunch.
